Hair Colouring

Our expert colourists specialise in creating custom hair shades using ammonia-free and low-ammonia formulas. We offer full-head colour, root touch-ups, and precision techniques like balayage. The service includes a complimentary consultation to determine the most flattering shades for your skin tone and lifestyle while maintaining hair health through bond-building technologies.

Balayage Highlights

This freehand highlighting technique creates natural, sun-kissed effects with seamless grow-out. Our stylists use Pure Elements colour to achieve dimension while protecting hair integrity. The service includes tonal adjustments and finish recommendations to maintain vibrancy between appointments, perfect for clients seeking low-maintenance colour transformations.

Keratin Treatments

Our Australian-made LAbrea keratin treatments transform frizzy hair into smooth, manageable locks using formaldehyde-free formulas. The process seals the cuticle while preserving natural movement, offering up to 90% reduction in styling time. We combine this with Fabriq's protein technology to strengthen hair while achieving straighter or more defined curl patterns.

Hair Restoration

This intensive treatment program utilises K18's peptide technology to rebuild damaged hair from within. Designed for chemically treated or heat-damaged hair, it restores strength and elasticity through cortex reconstruction. The service includes in-salon treatments and take-home maintenance products to progressively improve hair condition over multiple applications.

Colour Maintenance

Our Color Defence system provides customised at-home care to preserve salon colour vibrancy. Clients receive a three-step regimen tailored to their specific shade, including cleanser, toner, and hydrator. The eco-friendly formulas protect against fading from washing, heat styling, and environmental factors while maintaining hair health between salon visits.

It was a lovely experience, I found Sinead really proficient and caring. She was absolutely wonderful and cut & coloured my hair exactly as I liked. Really looking forward to coming back in December. Thanks again, was definitely worth the wait after Covid lockdown.

Lucie and Blondes to Brunettes have been my hair go-to for 10 years now. Once you know, you know right? But in all seriousness, it takes trust and faith to put your hair in someone else's hands, and for me that was built very quickly with Lucie. I've always left happy and full after a great cut, colour, blow wave and of course chat! I never feel pressured to buy products in store, but love and religiously purchase a mix which I attribute to keeping my long, coloured hair in pretty impressive condition for an unnatural blonde. I'd recommend Blondes to Brunettes to anyone!

Ive been going to Lucie at Blondes to Brunettes for a few years now, on recommendation, and am so happy with it! Lucie is lovely, time flies, and the prices are great value. Ive moved out of the area and travel back because I dont want anyone aside from Lucie doing my hair!

I have been attending here for quite a number of years now and have Lucie as my stylist. after years of being frustrated with what colour red stylist believed my hair should be Lucie listened the very first time and perfected it from the word go. I am now asked at least twice a week who colours my hair! Lucie is lovely and bubbly and I trust her completely with my hair and am always happy with any changes she may suggest.

I adore my hairdresser Lucie, and despite moving an hour away from the salon I'll still make the trek to go and see her! She's so talented and such a wonderful human. I couldn't recommend her more.

I always love my experience at this hair salon. All the girls are welcoming at Blondes to Brunettes. I am very fortunate to have Lucie looking after me. Lucie is not only a great colourist and cutter but a good listener and lots of fun. I am always happy after my visit to the salon.
Lucie is a perfectionist with her craft.
